Sam comes down for Christmas this Friday!
It is the first time I have seen him in person since Columbus Day Weekend. That’s an awfully long time for a father and son to go without seeing each other, but that’s what happens when your son lives in another country that’s 10 hours away by car, [...]
AT LAST, COMMON GROUND!!
Looks like the right wingers hate TSA too.

Riiiiiiing….riiiiiiiiiing
“hello, Senator Bob Casey’s office, Tayeesha speaking.”

The website is called “Becky & Jeremy’s Exciting Adoption Adventure,” created by a Haverford couple to capture a once-in-a-lifetime odyssey to bring home a son from Kazakhstan as well as the joys of raising a first child.
But what has happened so far to Becky Compton, Jeremy Meyer, and the 16-month-old they [...]
Sam’s 6th birthday
Happy birthday, kiddo!
Read More..>>Word to the Wise
Sam is visiting, so I’m not really doing too much blogging this week. However, there’s some good stuff brewing. Later this evening, I’ll be writing about our adventures with US Airways’ incompetence, as well as their surely deliberate failure to implement a complaints department (amazingly, only accessible via FAX, I shit you not).
Also, for [...]
More Sam Shots, and a Plug for My Brother
My brother called me this afternoon to tell me he’d finally completed resizing some of his recent photos of Sam, which i hope you’ll all enjoy.
But before you scroll down, let me put in a plug for him. Ray’s photo skills are top-notch, and it is a crying shame that he hasn’t been hired by [...]
Sam Shots from October 2009
My brother will have more later today, but here are a few shots from Sam’s whirlwind visit in October. He’ll be coming back in December from the 26-January 5, although there’s a long weekend coming up in November when I might want to squeeze in a visit).
These shots are all pumpkin related.
Sam picked this [...]
